Dec. 29th, 2010 Williams first Barber cut

Image
We decided to take William in to Barber Andy for his first official haircut. We've trimmed a few hairs here and there with our clippers but decided he needed to experience the barber shop (shouldn't every little boy?). Barber Andy is where William's Grandpa Bruce has gone for many years to get his hair cut. William wasn't into the whole experience...to say the least. Could we have tortured him enough? I tried bribing him with some m&m's...that didn't even work. It's a little difficult to catch an almost two year old for a picture but you can kinda see the cut from this one. We think he looks like a little boy from a Norman Rockwell picture.

William is quite the little helper these days. Christmas will be a lot different this year with a toddler to share it with (o: These last few days we've had fun making sugar cookies and decorating the Christmas tree... Makin' cookies with mom. This is hard work Mom! How do you get them to look so good? I think he had more fun squishing the dough between his fingers. Regardless, he had fun. And he even helped make a big heart shaped one for his daddy. Then we decorated the tree... Helpin' Mom string the lights Just for kicks, here's a comparison this year to last year...This year instead of just staring at the lights, he wanted to kiss them. We'll see what next year brings... My little almost one year old... My toddler, almost 2 year old!
